Since then, it has been the privilege of my life to serve you and this great country as Prime Minister, and I am confident that Britain is now stronger and fairer than it was two years ago.

Our public services are on the up, with the biggest fall in waiting times for 17 years. Children are being lifted out of poverty every single day.

The UK's support for Ukraine will not waver. I say that with real confidence because it has not wavered since the outbreak of this conflict.

I will be cheering on Andy Burnham from the sidelines.
